Any recommendations on RE investment/development short professional certificates/courses? MIT’s “Profesional Certifícate Program in Real Estate Finance and Development” seemed like a great fit, but I can’t make it work time wise.

Im a Senior Manager at a Consulting Firm and I have an MBA. I’m looking to learn more about data science, investing and development in RE.

Time wise I could easily take a couple of weeks off in July or take online courses. North East preferred!

Are you interested more in the modeling (acre, refm, breakintoCRE) aspect or the traditional courses? There more definitely some online CRE development certificate out there. George Town has an online master in real estate

I don’t want to discourage you or come off as belittling, but my rec would be to skip the certificate courses altogether unless you are steadfast in pursuing the masters directly afterwards. E.g. NYU Schack offers a certificate program that is made up of some of the required courses for the MSRE program (or they used to, not sure anymore). Otherwise, you’d probably have a better ROI from the REFM/ACRE/Property Metrics type stuff. Just my humble opinion. Good luck either way.
